New York Sports Leagues

Sports leagues are continuing to grow across the state of New York. Leagues consist of several individuals or teams that compete against other teams or individuals, typically in an all day event or stretched out over a weekend.

There are many different categories and levels to choose from. Most New York sports leagues are split into 2 or 3 levels based on the number of teams and talent level of the teams that take part in the event. These "multi-stage" leagues usually end up in bracket play where the top teams advance to play the other teams with the most wins or points and the teams that have lost will drop down to compete with the remaining teams that are at their level.

Most of these sporting events are organized by communities, schools, clubs or local bars. Some are for raising money, some offer prize money and some are simply for fun. Most charge a fee for you to enter the league. Prices vary greatly based on location and the intent of the competition.

Rules for each sports tourney differ based on location, size of the community and costs needed to manage the league. The host of the event usually decides what the rules and fee's will be.

School and community sports leagues are a great way to get exercise, compete against others and practice good sportsmanship. Check out what sports leagues are available in New York by choosing the sport you enjoy the most, at the top off this page.
